Naturopathic medicine is a discipline that uses natural remedies that aid the body heal from the inside out. At it’s core, naturopathic medicine is devoted to understanding the root causes of illnesses and diseases – not just focused on the symptoms. Once discovered, then uses a personalized whole person approach to intervene and reverse the underlying causes of disease. The ultimate goal is to treat the whole person and return the patient to a fully functioning, drug free, wellness state. This approach can be used to target virtually any chronic medical condition. Conventionally trained MDs who who have adopted this philosophy and practice this approach have created the names Functional Medicine, Age Management or Anti-Aging Medicine.
What types of conditions respond to Naturopathic Medicine?
Most patient’s health can be improved with this approach. The ultimate outcome is dependent upon the patient’s ability to comply with the doctor’s recommendations, the progression of the disease and other factors that affect the disease state (“obstacles to cure”). Starting early and preventing an illness is much easier than treating an established full-blown illness. Benjamin Franklin said so eloquently, in his axiom that “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” is as true today.
